In order for the record to count each participant has to throw at least one snowball and the fight had to last at least one minute. Saskatoon's fight actually went on for much longer, according to CBC.

Even though the numbers add up, Guinness World Records still has to review the attempt to make sure it was a legitimate win.

As event organizers have already revealed the registration of well over 8,000 people, we think it's safe to applaud Saskatoon for their community spirit.
